This case was somewhat confusing from the outset.
Not only did he attack a strange woman, but even when Kogoro Mouri offered him a helping hand, the woman was so scared that she kept begging for mercy.
In the end, he even took risks to escape and ended up falling from a tall building and dying. All of this does not make sense no matter how you look at it.
"Miss Nanli Xun, right?"
After a brief moment of confusion, Megure looked at the aggressive Nanzato Kaoru across from him and said, "Excuse my rudeness, but although this is the name you registered, your real name should be Renmi Kanako, right?"
"Ah?" Nanri Xun looked at Megure with confusion, not knowing what the other party was talking about.
"Inspector Megure, she's not Kanako Hitomi." Maori Kogoro waved his hand and explained, "I've seen a photo of Mrs. Kalina, and it's not her."
"Oh, did that man see Kanako as the deceased's wife?" Inspector Megure asked.
"He is the younger brother of Hitomi MatsuichirÅ and the wife of Hitomi Takehiko." After explaining, Maori Kogoro looked at Inspector Megure in confusion: "By the way, Inspector, why do you have such an idea?"
"We checked Hitomi Matsuichiro's phone number before. The last person he called before he died was Mrs. Hitomi Kanako," Megure explained.
"On the phone..." Maori Kogoro asked thoughtfully: "Inspector, I wonder when the call was made?"
"Eleven twenty." Megure looked at the information in the notebook and said.
"At this time, I should have a clue..." Kogoro Mouri said as he took out his camera and showed two photos to everyone.
In the photo, Hitomi Matsuichiro entered the bathroom at 11:10 and came out of the bathroom at 11:30 with a serious expression.
Judging from this phone call, the other party took the opportunity to make the call while going to the bathroom.
"Um, I don't know if you've finished asking..." Nan Lixun glanced at the landline phone beside him and then looked at everyone and said, "I'm so sorry, I just want to be alone..."
"Sister Nanli, did you mention Mr. Anxi just now?"
At this moment, Conan smiled and asked, "Before, Xiaolan and I ran into you at the counter, anxiously asking if there was a Mr. Anxi who wanted to leave his things here."
"I do know Mr. Anxi." Nan Lixun said calmly, "But does this have anything to do with the case?"
"Ah... I don't know..." Conan was stunned by the question and could only scratch his head awkwardly.
The conversation ended here. Nan Lixun stood up and sent the guest away. Without any evidence, the group really couldn't do anything to the other party, so they had to leave the other party's room first and let him calm down.
"Really? He actually said he didn't know Hitomatsu Ichiro. That's a complete lie." Mouri Kogoro muttered while sitting on the sofa in the hall.
"It's also possible that she really doesn't know him." Karasawa answered casually while looking at the photos that Kogoro Mouri had taken of Ichiro Hitomi before.
When he observed Nan Lixun's reaction before, he felt that the other party's reaction was very real when he mentioned this person, with no signs of concealing or pretending at all.
On the contrary, when Conan mentioned Mr. Anzai, her expression became unnatural for a moment, and she avoided Conan's questions, answering Conan's questions with questions.
While taking this opportunity, Tang Ze also took a quick look at the photos.
Photos can be roughly divided into three aspects.
One is a photo of Matsuichiro Hitomi kneeling beside a swimming pool and begging for mercy from a man lying on a beach chair.
There is also a photo of the other person sitting alone in the hall after saying goodbye to the man.
The photo of the other person going to the bathroom to make a phone call was taken after this. Apart from a young handsome man in a blue shirt who also seemed to be wandering into the bathroom, there was nothing too strange about it.
At most, when he walked out, he seemed to have encountered something bad and his face looked a little ugly.
"Huh? This photo is a bit strange." Tang Ze suddenly turned over one and said in surprise.
"Huh? What's so strange?" Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri hurried over and found that it was he who secretly took the photo of Matsuichiro making a phone call in a public telephone booth.
"I remember Hitomi Matsuichiro was supposed to have a cell phone on him," Karasawa explained. "But you see he's using a public phone to talk to someone."
"Maybe it's because of the bad signal." Kogoro Mouri once again uttered his usual useless reasoning.
But looking at the lady nearby who was making a phone call, his words didn't seem to have any credibility.
"Could it be that there is someone he wants to contact that is inconvenient to contact with his own phone?" Ayako asked uncertainly.
"It is possible." Tang Ze nodded, and he and Conan were more inclined to this possibility.
However, before the group could continue discussing this issue, Inspector Megure hurried over.
"Oh no!" Officer Megure said in a panic as he ran over: "Hey, look at the TV over there."
Upon hearing this, several people involuntarily turned their eyes to the public TV in the hall. At this moment, a brown high-rise apartment was showing on the TV screen, and the host's narration was heard from the side.
"This is an apartment building in Haido-cho, the scene of this murder. The male victim lived on the second floor of this apartment..."
However, as the TV continued to show photos of the deceased, the group no longer had much attention to listen to the news.
